Foxtail Millet Pesarattu-Tenai Pesarattu


Foxtail Millet Pesarattu-Thinai Pesarattu

 Prep Time : 15 mins (excluding soaking and fermenting time)

 Cook Time : 2-3 mins per pesarattu
 Yields:10 Pesarattus
 Recipe Category: Millet Recipes
 Recipe Cuisine: South Indian

   Ingredients needed

  Foxtail millet -1 cup
  Whole green gram -1 cup
  Red chillies-4
  Green chillies -2
  Onion -2-3
  Ginger – 1/2 inch piece
  Salt to taste
  Coriander leaves chopped – 2 tbsp

Preparation

Wash and soak foxtail millet and whole green gram together for 5-6 hours. Grind it coarsely just like adai with red chillies, green chillies, ginger, needed salt and little water. The batter should neither be too thick nor too thin.

Leave it to ferment for 5-6 hours. If you want to prepare it for dinner, soak it in the morning and grind it before noon.

Method

Before making pesarattu, add finely chopped onions and coriander leaves to the batter.

Heat a tawa on medium flame, take a ladle of batter and pour it in the center. Spread it in a circular motion just as you do for dosa. Drizzle a tsp of oil around the pesarattu. Using the back of the ladle make holes in the pesarattu so that it will get cooked well. Drizzle a little oil in the holes also.

When the corners start lifting up, flip the pesarattu to the other side. Drizzle another half tsp of oil around the pessarattu.

Once cooked remove from tawa and serve hot with any chutney or sambar or idli podi.


Repeat the same process for the rest of the batter.

    Why fermenting this.. ? But normal Pesarattu is not fermented?

      Fermenting makes it more softer and easily digestible. It is totally your preferences.
